of last-minute details. I hadn’t seen my brother in days, but that wasn’t unusual. He was busy getting things in line with operations and working alongside the Chicago office to make some improvements to the facilities across the US. And when he wasn’t doing that, he was doing his husband.

I actually chuckled at the thought. I still couldn’t believe they’d gotten hitched. They hadn’t even bothered to tell anyone, either. Well, with the exception of Trent, who did the officiating. No one could clarify whether the marriage was legal, but clearly that didn’t matter to Ransom. He was happy. And I was happy for him.

Rolphe slowed as we approached one of the cabanas. The curtains on three sides were lowered, so I couldn’t see inside. He led me around to the front and I came to an abrupt stop.

A flash of heat bolted through my body, lighting me up from the inside when I saw Talon, gloriously naked, reclined on an oversized chaise—more of a bed, really—Ari, also naked, between his legs, stroking Talon’s cock with his hands. At his sides, Jones and Auberon (yes, naked) were licking his chest, teasing his nipples.

They were a scrumptious sight.

Standing at opposite corners of the cabana were Bram, Corvin, Sim, and Taurus, all naked, too.

There was movement in my peripheral vision, and I realized Rolphe was discarding his clothes.

“Bram, Taurus,” Talon commanded, “remove my future bride’s clothing.”

I remained just outside the cabana, in clear view of anyone venturing a look outside, but it didn’t bother me. Not anymore. I’d gotten used to this in recent weeks seeing how Talon had taken to indulging outside. I never knew what to expect from him. If I had, I still probably wouldn’t’ve anticipated this. Since that one night on the balcony, he had yet to include all the possessions again.

I think he liked to keep me guessing.

With gentle, reverent hands, Bram and Taurus removed my full-length sundress by slipping the thin straps down my arms, then allowing it to slide down the length of my body to pool at my feet. Although I’d found undergarments had been delivered for the rare occasions I needed them, I still opted to go without. I’d gotten quite used to being naked beneath my clothing. And I think Talon happened to like knowing that I was.

Taurus took my hand, holding it up like I was royalty and allowing me to step out of it, while Bram picked it up and placed it on a chair.

“Escort her down into the water,” he told them. “Corvin and Sim, join them.”

I had to think they’d been prepped for this, because the four possessions led the way into the water. Sim stepped away to retrieve a float, dragging it over to us. It wasn’t one of the large ones, this only wide enough for one person. From there, Taurus and Bram lifted me out of the water and gently placed me on top of it.

I giggled, unable to hold it back. They made me feel like a queen.

My attention was drawn to the enormous man who stepped out of the cabana. To this day, seeing him like that still made my heart skip a beat. So big, so masculine, so … perfect.

I watched, my head propped on the inflatable pillow, which allowed me to see him as he stepped down into the water and moved closer.

“I see you’ve been busy,” I teased.

“Waiting,” he answered with a smirk.

“For?”

“You, of course.”

Talon’s big hands curled around my feet, kneading briefly.

I was aware of all the possessions surrounding me, seeming to close in as Talon’s hand shifted up to my ankles.

A second later, I squealed as he yanked me toward him, my butt sliding halfway down the float. Suddenly, Ari had one of my feet in his hands. The other was in Taurus’s as they stepped away, spreading me wide while Talon moved in closer.

I watched him, my body temperature continuing to climb as I anticipated his next move.

I was so focused on him I didn’t notice right away that Bram had taken one of my hands, Rolphe the other, and they were moving so I was positioned in an X.

Talon snapped his fingers, and Corvin stepped up to my right side, Auberon my left. There was no warning as they leaned forward, blew on my nipples, then sucked them into their fiery mouths.

I moaned, still trying to keep my eyes on Talon.

“I definitely like you like this,” he said, his gaze raking over me.

“At your mercy?” I asked, sighing from the pleasure of those mouths.

“Yes.”

I became aware of the four possessions who were massaging my hands and feet, working the stress from my body, while Corvin and Auberon continued to lave my breasts. They never gave me quite enough, but I figured that was Talon’s plan.

Talon walked to the edge of the pool, picked up a glass, took a sip. I was amused by his actions. For all of a second.

Then there was another snap of his fingers, and a mouth descended between my legs.

Jones.

“Oh, God,” I cried out. “More. Please. More.”

My eyes were rolling back in my head as I was assaulted by warm, wet tongues. Every now and then, I would look over at Talon, loving the way his eyes burned hotter as he watched the possessions teasing me.

Another snap of his fingers had them switching positions.

I smiled, relaxing as I stared up into the starry sky, Taurus now licking my pussy, Ari and Rolphe sucking my nipples.

They alternated like that for long minutes, never giving me enough to send me over. It was exquisite torture that I endured because I knew it pleased Talon.

Soon hands began to join the mix, caressing over my skin as water glided over me in warm rivers.

I moaned loudly when more mouths were added, my fingers and toes teased by their wicked ministrations.

“Talon… please…”

He approached, his eyes scanning all the hands and mouths on my flesh. “Tell me, dirty girl. What do you need?”

“More,” I demanded.

They gave me more,
